Slot to make bold decision on Luis Diaz amid Liverpool exit talks
Luis Diaz’s future at Liverpool has never looked more uncertain.
The Colombian attacker has been central to the Reds’ success in recent years and netted 17 times in all competitions last season.
However, Diaz has been heavily linked to Bayern Munich this summer as he heads into the final two years of his contract.
There have been suggestions that Diaz will be sold by Liverpool to help fund Alexander Isak.
However, Arne Slot should look to go a more bold route this summer.
Liverpool should look to keep Diaz despite incoming Bayern bid
It was reported this week that Bayern were preparing a £60million bid for Diaz.
The German giants have been keen to bring in the 28-year-old who helped Liverpool win the Premier League title last summer.
While this fee is certainly tempting, Slot should look to keep hold of the winger for the upcoming campaign.
| Luis Diaz’s career at Liverpool so far | |
| Appearances | 148 |
| Goals | 41 |
| Assists | 23 |
| Honours | Premier League x1, FA Cup x1, Carabao Cup x2, Community Shield x1 |
It would be a massive statement from Liverpool, with their attack arguably being the best in the world, especially if they sign Isak.
By keeping Diaz, it also ensures that the Reds have quality in depth, which could prove vital if Florian Wirtz or Hugo Ekitike struggle to adapt to the Premier League.
On top of this, the 28-year-old is still an excellent player, and selling him to a team like Bayern Munich could haunt them in the race to win the Champions League.
Slot will have plenty of big decision to make before transfer window closes
With still over a month left of the transfer window, Slot is likely going to have multiple big decisions to make.
Plenty of stars have been linked away from Anfield, including Diaz, and the manager will have to decide where their future lies.
Nevertheless, as it stands, the Reds have had an excellent summer and are in a sensational position to retain their title.
Hopefully, by the time the Premier League season kicks off in a few weeks, the majority of Liverpool’s business will be done.
